I have had the great, good fortunate to have worked with the Perks together on the annual Toy for Joy campaign for the past nine years; our community has been blessed to have them at the helm of the Salvation Army's Springfield citadel. They have done wonderful work in many areas, from literacy to helping young people to assisting in times of emergency following the tornado and the October storm. Thank you to them both for their commitment to our communities.

At a loss for words. Condolences to Carl's family, first and foremost. Carl was a top-notch sports journalist, a good friend and a wonderful voice for the Red Sox. He lived out a dream in that booth atop Fenway. May he rest in peace.

CrowT - I happen to be an opera fan, so when I hear that maybe, just maybe, something like this show gets another person to appreciate the music I'm happy! :) I have husband-wife friends (he likes classical; she was going to turn the sound off for the show) who had same reaction as you!

Laura - I loved Urkel then, and even more now. Going to miss him! But, it's down to someone's got to go. I, as you know, thought Melissa should have gone.

I have a growing appreciation for Roshon in this competition; I think he's the underdog who could come from behind. That said, I don't vote so I have nothing to complain about tonight if he gets eliminated.

My guess on departing contender: Melissa Gilbert - time to go back to the prairie.

Who makes the rules for what Search Committee members can say to the public? Is there a state law that precludes Search Committee from commenting to the public and the media on the process which its members are using and how many candidates they are reviewing?

thanks for reminding me I forgot to send an anniversary card.
My question is, who was responsible for ringing the bells for three hours.....or in this modern age, was it a recording or done electronically?

And, among the men, my initial reaction was that Roshon was "smokey" hot; felt the judges were a little tough on him trying too hard to be sensuous. If that were true, William went too far in the opposite direction. But Urkel stole the show for me! Another great evening of entertainment. Loved it!
